2 Meʻa Hokohoko 4
1 Naʻa ne ngaohi foki ha feilaulauʻanga ʻaki ʻae palasa, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe fāngofulu ʻa hono māukupu, pea ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ʻa hono māʻolunga.
Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
2 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ha tukunga vai lahi ʻaki ʻae palasa naʻe haka, ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ʻae ʻataʻatā ʻo hono ngutu ʻi hono fuofua takatakai, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae afo ko e hanga ia ʻe onongofulu.
They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
3 Pea naʻe ʻi lalo ʻi ai ʻae fakatātā ki he fanga pulu, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai: ko e hongofulu ʻi he hanga ʻe ua, ʻo takatakai hake ʻi he tukunga vai lahi. Naʻe haka mo fakafuofua ʻae ʻotu fanga pulu ʻe ua, ʻo fai fakataha mo hono haka mo hono fakafuofua ʻoʻona.
Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
4 Naʻe tuʻu ia ki he fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, naʻe hanga ʻae tolu ki he tokelau, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu lulunga, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he tonga, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu hahake: pea naʻe hilifaki ʻae tukunga vai lahi ki ʻolunga ʻi ai, pea naʻe hanga ʻa honau tuʻungaiku kotoa pē ki loto.
The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
5 Pea ko hono matolu ʻo ia ko e nima ʻe taha, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻa hono ngutu ke hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha ipu inu ʻaki ʻae fisiʻiʻakau ʻoe lili: pea ko hono fonu ʻo ia ko e kaloni ʻe taha mano mo e ono afe.
The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
6 naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu, mo ne tuku ʻae nima ki he nima toʻomataʻu, mo e nima ki he toʻohema koeʻuhi ke fai kaukau ki ai: ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻatu ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau tutu naʻe fufulu ia ʻi ai; ka ko e fuʻu tukunga vai lahi naʻe tuku ia ke kaukau ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki.
They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
7 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga maama ʻe hongofulu ʻo fakatatau mo honau anga, mo ne tuku ia ʻi he faletapu, ko e nima ki he potu toʻomataʻu pea ko e nima ki he toʻohema.
They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
8 Naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae palepale ʻe hongofulu, mo ne ʻai ia ʻi he faletapu, ko e nima ki he potu toʻomataʻu, mo e nima ki he toʻohema. Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ipu luoluo ʻe teau ʻaki ʻae koula.
They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
9 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae lotoʻā ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e lotoʻā lahi, mo e ngaahi matapā ki he lotoʻā, pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻo ia ʻaki ʻae palasa.
They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
10 Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae fuʻu tukunga vai ki he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe faʻahi ki he feituʻu hahake, ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he feituʻu tonga.
They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
11 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe Helami ʻae ngāue ʻaia naʻe tuku ke ne fai ki he tuʻi ko Solomone maʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua:
They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
12 ʻIo, ʻae pou ʻe ua, mo e teunga fuopotopoto, mo e ʻulu naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe ua, pea mo e teunga fihifihi ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae teunga fuopotopoto ʻe ua ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou:
[These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
13 Mo e pomikanite ʻe fāngeau ʻi he ngāue fihifihi ʻe ua: ko e taki ua ʻae ʻotu pomikanite ʻi he teunga fihifihi taki taha, ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae teunga fuopotopoto ʻoe ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ongo pou.
the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
14 Naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga, pea naʻe hilifaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ki he ngaahi tuʻunga;
the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
15 Mo e fuʻu tukunga vai ʻe taha, mo e fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ki lalo ʻi ai.
the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
16 Ko e ngaahi kulo foki, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi meʻa hikofi kakano, pea mo honau nāunau fulipē, naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ko ʻene tamai ki he tuʻi ko Solomone, maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaki ʻae palasa ngingila.
the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
17 Naʻe haka mo fakafuofua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe he tuʻi, ʻi he kelekele ʻumea naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sukote pea mo Selitata.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
18 Ko ia, naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi nāunau ni ʻe Solomone ʻo lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae mamafa ʻoe palasa.
All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
19 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē maʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e feilaulauʻanga koula foki mo e ngaahi palepale ʻaia naʻe tuku ki ai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao:
Solomon’s workers also made all these things that were put at the temple: the golden altar, the tables on which the priests put the sacred bread,
20 Pea mo e ngaahi tuʻunga maama foki mo honau ngaahi maama, koeʻuhi ke ulo ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga, ko e koula moʻoni ia.
the pure gold lampstands and the pure gold lamps, [in which the priests put oil] to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as God had told [Moses that the priests should do],
21 Pea mo e ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau, mo e ngaahi foʻi tuʻungamaama, mo e meʻa hikofi, naʻa ne [ngaohi ia kotoa pē ]ʻaki ʻae koula, ʻio, ʻae koula haohaoa:
the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
22 Mo e helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga afi, ko e koula haohaoa ia: pea ko e hūʻanga ki he fale, mo e matapā ki loto ki he potu toputapu lahi, pea mo e ngaahi matapā ʻoe faletapu, naʻe ʻoe koula ia.
the pure gold wick trimmers and bowls for sprinkling, and dishes and lamp snuffers, the gold doors of the temple and the doors to the main hall.
